## About

Founded in 2020 and based in San Marino, Italy, RBB SRL, dba Mintlayer, operates as a blockchain platform that provides a crypto wallet that allows its users to access Bitcoin. In May 2021, Mintlayer raised USD 5.2 million in seed funding co-led by Alphabit, Block26, Caballeros Capital, Crypto Dorm Fund, CSP Dao Inc., ExNetwork, Leland Ventures, Lotus Capital, Lunar Station, LVT Capital, Kyros Ventures, Minted Labs, Moonboots Capital, Moonrock Capital, Moonwhale Ventures, Phoenix VC, Titan Ventures, Varys Capital, VisionLabs, X21 Digital, and others. As of 2023, the company is led by its CEO, Enrico Rubboli.

The company offers Mintlayer, a blockchain platform based on Bitcoin that is designed to improve the network's capabilities by providing a sidechain solution that is future-proof. One of the company's features is the Tokenization Ecosystem, which uses a technological architecture that complies with regulations to enable the tokenization of assets in both primary and secondary markets, including equities and real estate. This eliminates the need for a native gas token and supports many tokenomic structures for utility tokens.

In addition, Mintlayer offers a network for asset storage, lending, borrowing, and trading through its decentralized finance (DeFi) technology. The platform offers value transfer and exchange features that enable two-way pegging, allowing cryptocurrencies from various blockchains to interact on a single protocol. Mintlayer also provides the Mojito Wallet, which allows users to securely store Bitcoin, ML tokens, and other cryptocurrencies on desktop and mobile devices.
